-- New Jersey/NYC-based shoegazers Big Troubles have signed to venerable indie Slumberland. The band will release a new single, "Sad Girls" b/w "Phantom", on August 30. The single's taken from Romantic Comedy, their forthcoming full-length follow-up to last year's Worry.

-- Folksy indie rock vets Centro-matic will self-release their tenth full-length, Candidate Waltz, June 21 (Thirty Tigers/RED will provide distribution). The band also has a summer tour planned with Sarah Jaffe; check out those dates here.

-- Portland indie rock duo Viva Voce have signed to Vanguard Records; their debut for that label, The Future Will Destroy You, comes out June 21. Grab a song from that release, "Analog Woodlands Song", here.
